Project Scorpio and Xbox One S are powered by AMD hardware

Microsoft's Project Scorpio was the highlight of the vendor's E3 conference, with the upcoming console — which will make its debut next year —set to offer an atounding 6 teraflops of graphics compute power. To put that into context, the current-generation Xbox One offers 1.23 teraflops. Microsoft did not go into a lot of detail over the underlying hardware that will power the console, but what we do know is that Project Scorpio and the Xbox One S are powered by semi-custom AMD SoCs.

We should know more about Project Scorpio over the coming weeks and months.
